I can copy the beautiful girl

After Soma allowed Lily to leave the clan, I invited her, "If you have nowhere else to go, why not join my clan? My name is Bell Crane, and my main deity, Hestia, is a deity of excellent character. I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

"I promised Lily that. Hestia, if you continue to act like this, Lily might leave in disappointment."

"I'm being unreasonable?" Hestia seemed amused, and then she turned to Lily, "Tell me, what do we do now? We haven't even moved into the mansion yet, and we're still in debt to the Soma clan."

"Um..." Lily, who was covering her chest with her clothes, raised her hand cautiously: "Lily has saved some money, so the gap shouldn't be too big. I'll find a way to make up for the rest..."

"Snapped!!"

Hestia slapped Lily on the back of the head. "Hurry and hand over your ill-gotten gains to the guild so they can return them to their owners. You should remember the names of those adventurers, right?"

"Y-yes! Lily remembers! I'm sorry!"

"Qianzhu, when the time comes, you go with her and let that Aina handle it. She will definitely handle it properly."

"Yes, Lady Hestia."

Watching Hestia handle Lily's affairs in an orderly manner, I shrugged and said calmly, "If Apollo doesn't bother us, we'll bother him. We haven't settled accounts with him yet for his Familia attacking our members."

"Honorary Knight, isn't it a bad idea for a knight to start a fight like this?"

"That's right, we are the side of justice, don't make us look like rebels."

I'll first address Paimon's statement: "There's a lot of money in the Apollo Familia. If you win the war games, you can eat to your heart's content in this world."

Paimon gurgled and coughed twice. "But we were attacked first, so it's only right to fight back."

Then I looked at Noelle. "Look, Noelle, Paimon knows that we're fighting back, not provoking trouble. If we don't teach Apollo a lesson, he'll definitely attack other Families in the future. Those Families won't be as strong as us, and they'll surely be attacked by Apollo and have no choice but to disband. In fact, there are many adventurers in Apollo's Families who didn't join voluntarily but were forced to do so. Can we just sit back and watch those adventurers go? They need your help, Noelle!"

"If that's the case, then we really can't just sit back and do nothing."

Noelle clenched her hands in front of her chest, her expression firm.

"Lady Hestia, let's go and rescue those who are being persecuted by the evil gods."

"Don't just casually label others as evil gods!"

Hestia also turned around and hit Noelle on the head.

"Although Apollo isn't really a proper god, he was at least chosen as one of the twelve main gods in my hometown. You're scolding me too by scolding him like that!"

"I'm sorry, Lady Hestia." Noelle apologized, rubbing her forehead.

Hestia turned to look at me and said helplessly, "Aren't you planning on going to the dungeon? Are you still going?"

I pointed at Lily, who was dressed, and said, "I'll be going to the dungeon with Lily and Paimon. We'll probably be heading deeper into the dungeon and won't be back for a while, so don't count on me for the war games."

Hestia nodded and said:

"That's good. When you come back, you'll live in a mansion."

Then, Hestia led her men to attack the gate of Apollo's family.

After Qianshu kicked the door open, Hestia shouted, "Come out! Apollo!"

"Hey, isn't that Hestia?"

A group of Apollo's family members looked at Hestia and her group warily. Apollo came out and said with a look of surprise:

"Did you miss me? That's great! I missed you too. After all, we had such a deep connection in heaven, but we have no connection in the underworld."

"What do you mean by deep connection? We're not that close!" Hestia folded her arms and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense. Your child attacked my child in the dungeon. Don't you deserve an explanation?"

"Oh, I just heard about this. Sorry, Hestia, this is a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding."

Apollo clapped his hands apologetically and said:

"Here's what happened. Our children mistook one another for someone else. A few days ago, a lesser-known member of the clan provoked our children, so they wanted to teach them a lesson in the dungeon. As a result, they accidentally hit your child. Now the misunderstanding has been resolved, and the ones who were injured were all our children, so let's forget about it, Hestia. We're all from the Celestial Realm, so there's no need to dwell on this. I won't ask you for the medical expenses; I'll pay for it myself."

"What you think is quite beautiful."

Hestia smiled disdainfully and pointed at an adventurer from Apollo's family.

"Give me your gloves, kid."

"what?"

The adventurer was stunned for a moment and looked at Apollo.

Apollo shook his head.

"Thousands of bunches."

Along with Hestia's voice, in an instant, Nishiki Chitsuga's figure flashed in front of the adventurer, snatched the gloves, and then teleported back to Hestia.

Apollo's pupils narrowed deeply, and he stared at the little girl with white hair carefully: "You really have a group of outstanding followers, Hestia."

The jealousy in his voice could no longer be concealed.

Hestia unceremoniously took the white glove offered by Qianshu and threw it at Apollo's face. "Provoking me out of jealousy is the biggest mistake you've ever made in your life. Let's play war games, Apollo!"

"That's impossible, Hestia."

Apollo grabbed his gloves and dropped the pretense, saying bluntly, "I admit I made a mistake. I didn't expect you'd only been in the lower realm for half a year, and yet the children of your clan were already cheating like crazy—are you really cheating? Did you get some kind of protagonist halo? I really want those gods still in heaven to investigate and ban you!"

Apollo pointed at the sky in frustration and vented his anger, then calmed down, shrugging helplessly and spreading his hands. "But things have already come to this, so I'll admit it. It was my fault. I shouldn't have provoked you. I apologize and I can make amends - but don't even think I'll agree to the war games. I admit that my children can't beat those children of yours."

"Don't be scared, Apollo!"

"Are you still a male god like this? Don't embarrass the male god, Apollo!"

"Go ahead! Apollo! Fight Hestia! Can you just watch a new god who's only been in the mortal realm for half a year trample on you and humiliate you like this?"

"Don't be afraid! Apollo! You are now playing the role of the bullied protagonist. You can't lose!"

"Stop fanning the flames here!!!"

A group of gods appeared from nowhere, some leaning out from the roof, some popping out from the window, some crawling out from the bushes, and some hanging upside down from the tree. All the gods were cheering Apollo on with gloating looks on their faces.

Apollo shouted at these gods who were eager to watch the fun, "If you want to fight, fight yourselves. Hestia will definitely accept your war games! You will be the sacrifice in my place!"

Although the Hestia Familia was established not long ago, its strength is already well known in Orario.

The first person to attract attention was naturally Nishiki Chitsugu, who showed great strength in the battle against Goliath together with the Thousand Fairies of Loki's family. Although most people had only heard the legend that seemed a bit exaggerated, the fact that her strength was recognized by Loki's family was enough to prove that she was indeed excellent.

What's more, Nishiki Chitsugu is now the record holder for the fastest upgrade. This alone is enough to make the gods so excited and curious that they can hardly restrain themselves.

Apollo made a plan to deal with Hestia's family because he wanted to obtain Nishiki Chitsuki.

No matter what kind of strength Nishiki Chitsuko is rumored to have, she is ultimately just an adventurer who has just reached level 2. Apollo doesn't think his followers can't deal with her.

——Then I hit a wall.

The appearance of Merry Portalt, who could control monsters, shocked Apollo so much that he regretted his impulsiveness. Then, the news that Bell Crane, the leader of the Hestia clan, easily swept through the entire Soma clan by himself made Apollo instantly remember the joke he had heard before that made him laugh for a long time - the leader of the Hestia clan clashed with the ferocious wolf of Loki clan and suppressed the ferocious wolf.

Isn't this a joke?

How funny!

Apollo laughed so hard his stomach hurt. What idiot could come up with such nonsense? Really talented. If anyone believed it, it would be even more talented—so this really wasn't a joke?

When Apollo finally woke up, it was too late. He could already imagine what would happen next.

And as expected, Hestia had no intention of letting go of this opportunity.

And of course, Apollo would never be fooled.

War game?

That's just suicide.

How could he possibly agree to such a stupid thing?

"Apollo, I promise not to use Bell Crane in our war games."

Apollo was instantly shaken.

"Bell-kun has gone to the dungeon for something important. I can't use him even if I want to. Besides, it would be too unfair for you to use Bell-kun. Unlike you, I don't like bullying the weak, so I can let you be a pawn, and a powerful queen at that."

Apollo realized that Hestia really had absolute confidence, which was why she tempted him like this.

I'm afraid none of her other children are simple.

but…

"I set all the rules of the game."

Apollo said to Hestia with a provocative smile:

"Besides, I can find an outside aid. If you agree to such conditions, then I will play a war game with you, Hestia."

Apollo probably knew about Hestia's confidence, but another word for confidence is arrogance.

I had committed the sin of arrogance before, so I took action impatiently without finding out the situation of Hestia's family, which led me into this dangerous situation. And now... hasn't Hestia also committed the sin of arrogance?

She may indeed have her confidence, after all, she knows her children best.

But, precisely because of this, this is also a flaw.

"Are you kidding?" Hestia wasn't truly arrogant, so she retorted without hesitation, "You decide the rules, and you're going to find an outsider. If you just find a first-level adventurer as an outsider, and the rules of the game are still a one-on-one duel, then what's the point of fighting? Wouldn't it be better for me to just admit defeat?"

Hearing Hestia's words, Apollo couldn't help but smile even more. "Your worries are completely unnecessary. The highest level of my Families is only 3. How could I possibly hire a Level 5? How many Level 5 adventurers above Level are there in all of Orario? They're all concentrated in the Freya, Loki, Ganesha, and Astraea Families. I can promise you that I will never hire adventurers from these four families as external aid—even though I can't do that."

"Even the Ishtar Familia can't do that!"

"cut."

"What are you talking about? You don't really think I don't know how many Level 5s there are in Orario, do you?"

"Okay, I won't invite the Ishtar Familia either. Is that okay?"

"this…"

Hestia still had a hesitant expression.

"What's wrong? You put on that confident face and declared war on me, but in the end you don't even trust your Familiar's children to deal with a Level 4?"

"Are you very provocative? Apollo!"

Hestia suddenly said angrily:

"Okay, if it's limited to the Familia within Orario, I agree to your condition of finding an outside aid. However, the rules of the game cannot be decided by you, they must be decided by me."

"That won't do, Hestia. Now you want to play war games with me. How can I agree to play war games with you if you won't even agree to this level of conditions?"

"What do you mean by this level of conditions? You're actually looking for LV.4 foreign aid!"

"Even so, your child can handle it, right? After all, I'm really scared of you being so confident."

"Do I look confident?"

"No matter what you say, you must agree to this condition."

"...Let me put it this way. I allow you to propose the rules of the game, but you must not create rules that absolutely prevent one side from winning. Once you propose such a rule, I have the right to veto it."

"Okay! It's decided then!"

Apollo laughed.

Hestia also laughed.

Apollo got a satisfactory result. The rules of the game were just a smokescreen. What really mattered was the foreign aid.

The result of the test just now showed one thing, that is, Hestia, who had only been in the lower world for half a year, was not very familiar with Orario's clan. She had no idea that in addition to openly proclaiming that it had a clan of first-level adventurers, Orario also had LV.5 adventurers who did not want to publicize their own strength at all.

This is the price of ignorance, Hestia!

"It's done."

After leaving Apollo's family, Hestia clenched her fist and said excitedly, "Apollo, a mere figure, actually tried to play tricks on me. After all my nonsense, he finally fell for it."

Noelle said hesitantly, "Lady Hestia, I always feel like something is wrong."

"Of course not. Without a Level 5 adventurer above LV.5, how could Apollo have the confidence to engage in a war game with me? I don't know which Level 6 adventurer I've never heard of, but it's definitely Level —but it can't be above LV. anyway, that's enough."

"Even if it's LV.5, we can't win without the master, right?" Qianshu said with self-awareness, "Lady Hestia, please don't count on me. I can only deal with LV.4 at best."

Even if Qianshu has a fighting talent, it is meaningless when the gap in ability values is too huge.

If the enemy's ability values are similar or not much higher than hers (here "too much" means a difference of one level in ability value), Qianshu can deal with it easily. Even if she is alone against many enemies, she can still deal with it with ease.

Superb eyesight, abnormal brain computing ability, and instantaneous acceleration of the body far beyond that of ordinary people, all of these provide Qianshu with the capital to easily deal with enemies of the same level or even higher levels.

However, once the ability value is stretched too far, that is, the gap is more than two levels, Qianshu's advantage will be greatly reduced.

After all, an attack carried out by a person using cold weapons is not like a bullet fired from a gun. Once it is fired, it cannot turn.

Faced with a straight-line attack like a bullet that cannot be retracted or deviated from its trajectory, Qianshu is not afraid no matter how fast it is, because he only needs to dodge the trajectory of the bullet in the instant before it is fired.
